Seven Natural Wonders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seven Natural Wonders is a television programme that aired on BBC Two from 3 May to 20 June 2005. The programme took a specific area of England each week and, from votes by the people living in that area, showed the 'seven natural wonders' of that area in a programme, although it is questionable how 'natural' some of the wonders were.

The programmes were:

The series covered eight regions of England, as it originated as a 'local' television project.

There was also a series, looking at a similar selection of 'man-made' wonders for each of eleven regions of England.

N.B.: The sites here are BBC website addresses. There appears to be some confusion, within the BBC website, since the production of the 'man-made' series, in that pages appear to overlap.
